The stream for dimmable LED bulbs in the streetlights come floating solar panels and a small wind turbine in the neighborhood. Cyclists can from spring through an app determine the desired light level of the dimmable LED lighting along the bike path. Depending on the time of year and the weather cyclists can raise or lower the light level required. This should increase the sense of security and prevent unnecessary energy consumption.
